We Packers fans cried for so many years about Jerry Kramer and then it was LeRoy Butler. Who is next for us to whine about that isn't in the Hall of Fame? Sterling Sharpe? Lynn Dickey?

If we're just talking about the next Packers HOF player, I think it's Aaron Rodgers.

Though if you mean who's the next one fans are going to whine about, probably Sterling Sharpe. But I don't expect him to get in (career was shorter), then again, I didn't expect a number of people to get in, and they did, so I could be very wrong.

I doubt Sharpe will get in but of course Gale Sayers and Terrell Davis got in after only playing 7 seasons (Sharpe played eight) so never say never?

Sharpe will definitely be a head scratcher when it comes to the HOF.
I doubt that he will get in.
Clay Matthews will be another player that I think will be caught betwixt and between.
However he has that NFL pedigree going for him.

Aaron will be the next inductee.

Sterling didn't put up the numbers to get in. He is 101st in reception yards. (Adams is 102 at the moment.) Tied with Stefon Diggs and Anthony Miller at 87th in receptions. (Cobb is 4 behind him at 94th.) Even with the NFL changing rules to favor the passing game, it doesn't seem possible.

CM III is 53rd in sacks. Robert Porcher and Steve McMichael have a few more sacks. I was listening the Chicago sports show this morning and while they would love to see McMichael get in they don't think he will. I agree.

I knew I was forgetting about someone, CM3. I think he'll get in... even if he's stats are a bit low, the HoF isn't consistent and the family legacy with give him a boost (even if it shouldn't).

Whom deserves it the more, isn't always the one that gets in, at least not in first.

Whom deserves to get in most of these; Sterling Sharpe, Greg Jennings or Jordy Nelson?

Nick Collins would be nice, but he basically only played 6 years and the earliest one weren't amazing.

Adams has a decent shot... not sure about the Packers pass rushers, probably not.

Shannon Sharpe said it all.

"I'm not even the best reciever in my family" paraphrasing that.

Sterling has a good chance, now that a couple of other players had injury shortened careers.

Not having a ring might hold him back..

Aaron and Devante are the next that are still playing.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

Adams may have to wait and whining may happen.
